Vermont Cheddar Bread

I forgot to cut the bread tops half way through the rest period. They turned out okay anyway. I took them to a family dinner and it went fast.

Get the yummy details here!

Drip Beef for Super Bowl

The peppers added to the aroma that filled the house as this cooked all day.
I served with small rolls from the deli, provolone cheese and spicy mustard.

Here is where you can find all the yummy details!

Friday night by the fire

Today was a long day. Clayton left this morning for Ft. Campbell, KY. He's almost there and has checked in with us through out the day. I miss him already. Hopefully I'll get to see him when I go home to Georgia in the Spring.

It's still cold and last weekends snow is still hanging around. So, we built a fire and relaxed this evening, playing with the Wii and surfing online.

Sophie loves to snuggle - as you can see. She is such a spoiled diva!

I have Vermont Cheddar Bread resting on the counter. I can't wait to bake some tomorrow. I'm taking a broccoli and rice casserole and homemade breads to a family dinner on Sunday. This bread is from the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Easy, fun, yum!

Handwriting

Clay and I had a good chuckle over his handwriting. He was 7 at the time we gave this book to Barry for Father's Day. He commented on his improved writing but I disagree - his writing is worse. Hee, hee!

Kitchen reading this week

This is what I've been drooling over this past week. I've had The Pioneer Woman Cooks for a few months [I pre-ordered it]. The others I have purchased in the last few weeks. The "butter" one was discounted at Hastings and how can a book entitled The Great Big Butter Cookbook not make you curious.

The Magic of Jelly is interesting and can offer inspiration to try new things in the kitchen.

I've had a couple of posts on the bread already. The master recipes are SO EASY! I've been making smaller loaves which are perfect to slice and make homemade garlic bread for spaghetti night. YUM!

Frozen Fog

Color in black and white. That is how these photos appear. It's more beautiful than the snow because it creates a white winter wonderland.
